  • Thunderbird problem

    From KenK@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 3 13:42:27 2020
    For the past week or so when I try to send the first message on T-bird it
    fails to successfully do so. No error message. If I close T-bird and
    restart it then it works properly. Once in a while there's no problem.

    I've used T-bird for many years now with few problems.

    Running on Windows XP.

    TIA

    One possible explanation is that the server uses the receive
    before send authentification method, but Thunderbird is not set
    up that way. I'm not even sure whether that setting still
    exists.

    Have you changed servers or changed the authenication settings?
    Most mail servers nowadays use username and password
    authentication, either encrypted or unencrypted with an
    encrypted connection channel.
